Description

Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt from 1739 to 1768 who was known as the 'Hunting Landgrave' because of his passion for hunting (1691-1768). LS in German, one page both sides, 8.75 x 13.5, April 3, 1737. Letter to the Count of Virmont, expressing great surprise and pleasure over the prompt administration of justice in the Babenhausen case and a simultaneous decision on another matter. He sees it as an indication of the count's fairness and goodwill toward him and his offspring as they continue to pursue the matter. In very good condition, with wear to the edges and splitting along intersecting folds.
